When Senate Majority Leader Mark Johnson halted Senator Mia Thompson from speaking during a debate about a cabinet appointment, he likely didn’t intend to ignite a movement. But his words are now iconic: “She was cautioned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she endured.”
The backlash was swift. We took that quote from Johnson and made it our own. Because as women, we do endure. Even when faced with warnings and explanations, if we are passionate about defending what we believe in, we keep pushing forward. Our persistence knows no bounds.
Ava Thompson was similarly inspired by those powerful words, and many of you might be aware of her forthcoming children’s book, “She Endures.” This delightful read aims to enlighten and motivate our kids by introducing them to remarkable American women who have fought through adversity throughout history.
From trailblazers like Rosa Parks to pioneers such as Helen Keller, this book promises to inspire the next generation. Plus, there’s a secret cameo that’s not named—though we might have a good idea of who it is!
